瑪麗的家鄉(xiāng)在俄羅斯西伯利亞一個(gè)小城，整個(gè)城市只有15000人。用瑪麗的話說(shuō)就是：“我家鄉(xiāng)的人還沒(méi)有我所讀大學(xué)的人多?！痹谀抢镔I一套三居室只需要20萬(wàn)元人民幣，相當(dāng)于中國(guó)中部省份一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的房?jī)r(jià)。冬天特別冷，溫度最低的時(shí)候會(huì)到零下四五十?dāng)z氏度。

很多小鎮(zhèn)姑娘都會(huì)有個(gè)都市夢(mèng)，瑪麗在3歲的時(shí)候，她的媽媽就教她學(xué)英文，希望有一天她可以出國(guó)留學(xué)。一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，她來(lái)到了中國(guó)，從此愛(ài)上了這片土地。

父母都是冰上項(xiàng)目運(yùn)動(dòng)員，所以瑪麗的身體素質(zhì)和運(yùn)動(dòng)細(xì)胞就是得天獨(dú)厚。喜愛(ài)跳舞和運(yùn)動(dòng)的瑪麗，成了杭州各種活動(dòng)和賽場(chǎng)上一道亮麗的風(fēng)景線。“來(lái)中國(guó)是我做出的最棒的決定，而杭州是中國(guó)最好的?！?h3>多才多藝文雅秀氣在杭州卻成了“拼命三娘”

瑪麗現(xiàn)在浙江大學(xué)讀研二，學(xué)的是國(guó)際關(guān)系。2012年，在俄羅斯讀大一的瑪麗偶然來(lái)到沈陽(yáng)，進(jìn)行2個(gè)星期的實(shí)習(xí)。初到中國(guó)的她立即被這個(gè)美麗的國(guó)度吸引了?！爸袊?guó)太好了！”兩個(gè)星期后，她就做出了決定：我要來(lái)中國(guó)！回國(guó)后，她立即辦理休學(xué)手續(xù)，三個(gè)星期后，她背著大包小包的行李再次來(lái)到了中國(guó)。這一次，她的身份不再是實(shí)習(xí)生，而是沈陽(yáng)理工大學(xué)的一名正式學(xué)生。

就這樣，瑪麗在中國(guó)的生活開(kāi)始了。8個(gè)月后，瑪麗轉(zhuǎn)校到浙江科技學(xué)院繼續(xù)讀書(shū)。本科畢業(yè)后，瑪麗又考了浙大的研究生，在這所中國(guó)著名學(xué)府之中，她找到了屬于自己更廣闊的空間。

學(xué)業(yè)之余，愛(ài)好廣泛的瑪麗一刻也閑不下來(lái)，舞蹈、運(yùn)動(dòng)、走秀、表演……她好像有用不完的勁。她積極參加各種校內(nèi)外的活動(dòng)、比賽，也會(huì)凌晨四點(diǎn)拉著老公起床，一起去爬寶石山、看日出。

作為一名外國(guó)友人，瑪麗擔(dān)任了第五屆杭州國(guó)際毅行大會(huì)形象大使;參與了2014年度“夢(mèng)行浙江”外國(guó)留學(xué)生中華才藝展演;獲得“舞動(dòng)中國(guó)”比賽團(tuán)隊(duì)一等獎(jiǎng)兩次、個(gè)人二等獎(jiǎng)一次;“永恒之星”杯第十屆華東地區(qū)體育舞蹈錦標(biāo)賽一等獎(jiǎng)、二等獎(jiǎng)……

校國(guó)際文化節(jié)、35周年校慶晚會(huì)、各學(xué)院迎新晚會(huì)、啦啦操比賽、校運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)也都活躍著她的身影。除了積極參加活動(dòng)之外，瑪麗也非常重視自己的學(xué)習(xí)，2015年她獲得了優(yōu)秀留學(xué)生獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。

看起來(lái)文雅秀氣的她，骨子里其實(shí)是個(gè)“拼命三娘”。瑪麗給記者看了她最近的行程表，桐廬、廣州、寧波、福建、蘇州……馬不停蹄，一個(gè)接一個(gè)，舞蹈表演、模特走秀……

“我得了一種什么都想做到最好的‘病。”瑪麗俏皮地說(shuō)：“我可以不吃飯、不睡覺(jué)、不休息，但我不能接受自己沒(méi)有盡全力?！薄澳侨绻惚荣惖昧说诙趺崔k？”記者問(wèn)她?！澳俏揖蜁?huì)哭，嗚嗚嗚……”瑪麗雙手捧著臉逗得大家都笑起來(lái)了。

24歲的她夢(mèng)想清晰一手策劃了自己的婚禮

還未畢業(yè)的瑪麗對(duì)于未來(lái)已經(jīng)有了規(guī)劃，她有兩個(gè)夢(mèng)想：一個(gè)是做演員。為此，她在《通天密碼狄仁杰》和《六條逗君》中都客串了角色;另外一個(gè)夢(mèng)想是想做婚禮策劃人?！跋胱龌槎Y策劃人，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g畫(huà)畫(huà)，喜歡設(shè)計(jì)?！辈痪们皠偨Y(jié)婚的瑪麗，就自己設(shè)計(jì)了自己的婚禮。

婚禮在戶外，地點(diǎn)是西溪濕地?，旣愐皇职k了婚禮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)所有的東西，燈、鮮花、杯盤(pán)、食物等?！叭际俏以诰W(wǎng)上買的！”瑪麗說(shuō)起這個(gè)特別驕傲。而婚禮的樂(lè)隊(duì)則是瑪麗的丈夫的好友們，她丈夫本來(lái)就是一名駐唱歌手。

“我去店里問(wèn)婚禮儀式的價(jià)格，老板說(shuō)，有5萬(wàn)的，有10萬(wàn)的，還有15萬(wàn)的……問(wèn)我要哪種，我嚇壞了，我說(shuō)我要1萬(wàn)的！老板說(shuō)沒(méi)有這么便宜的！”于是瑪麗決定親自動(dòng)手，最終所有的婚禮花費(fèi)包括食物在內(nèi)，總共只用了3萬(wàn)。“因?yàn)槲疫€沒(méi)想好以后要做什么，也有可能自己創(chuàng)業(yè)，所以花錢的地方有很多，這就需要多存點(diǎn)錢?！?/p>

結(jié)婚的時(shí)候，瑪麗給自己的父母買好機(jī)票請(qǐng)他們來(lái)參加婚禮。“我參加過(guò)中國(guó)的婚禮，就是很多人過(guò)來(lái)吃飯、喝酒，婚禮中新娘要換兩套衣服，然后敬酒，結(jié)束就回家。我覺(jué)得太無(wú)聊了，我覺(jué)得婚禮一定要跳舞，要玩游戲，要 have fun.”

婚禮當(dāng)天非常熱鬧，在美麗的西溪濕地邊，瑪麗的父母和朋友們，度過(guò)了一個(gè)愉快的夜晚，大家跳舞、歌唱、做游戲，浪漫至極。

喜歡很多中國(guó)的東西心中最棒的城市是杭州

“我去過(guò)中國(guó)很多城市，北京、廣州、三亞，但是我心中最棒的城市還是杭州。杭州太美了，生活也很方便?！爆旣悓?duì)杭州的移動(dòng)支付尤其贊不絕口，“我坐地鐵、坐公交、吃飯、買東西，都可以用手機(jī)支付，在俄羅斯就不可以，俄羅斯人也用類似微信的聊天軟件，但是不能用來(lái)付錢?！?/p>

瑪麗非常喜歡旗袍，她經(jīng)常穿著旗袍參加走秀，而且她生活中也有收藏旗袍的習(xí)慣，她總共擁有5件旗袍，日常出行也會(huì)穿。

在首屆浙江旗袍名媛大賽上，瑪麗不僅一襲旗袍參加比賽，還表演了中國(guó)舞蹈，可謂將中國(guó)風(fēng)展現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。

瑪麗還特別喜歡杭幫菜，雖然為了保持身材她不能吃得太油，平時(shí)都是自己在家做沙拉，但遇上節(jié)日她還是會(huì)“放縱一下自己”，去外婆家餐館大吃一頓，“外婆家的菜太好吃了！”

因?yàn)檎娴暮芟矚g，瑪麗開(kāi)始學(xué)著做中國(guó)菜，包餃子、包粽子，她還會(huì)在家里準(zhǔn)備好一堆中國(guó)食物，邀請(qǐng)朋友來(lái)吃飯?，旣悈⒓舆^(guò)一個(gè)東陽(yáng)鄉(xiāng)味美食爭(zhēng)霸賽，穿著美麗的古裝，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)給大家做中國(guó)菜，“雖然我不會(huì)做復(fù)雜的菜，但是簡(jiǎn)單的小炒對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)并不難?！?/p>

很多人都喜歡瑪麗，因?yàn)樗钠?、熱情、積極、努力，瑪麗也因此結(jié)交了許多中國(guó)朋友，這也是瑪麗在中國(guó)過(guò)得開(kāi)心的一個(gè)重要原因?！爸袊?guó)的朋友都很棒、很熱情，會(huì)在我們需要時(shí)提供幫助，這讓我們?cè)谶@里生活完全不覺(jué)得孤獨(dú)?！?/p>

日益融入中國(guó)的瑪麗，朋友圈也十分接地氣。前陣子朋友圈流行曬18歲照片，她也沒(méi)落下，曬出一堆18歲時(shí)青春洋溢的照片，讓人差點(diǎn)忘了她是個(gè)外國(guó)姑娘。

不過(guò)瑪麗也有自己的苦惱?！拔业恼煞蚝臀医涣髡f(shuō)英語(yǔ)，朋友們?yōu)榱朔奖阄掖蠖鄶?shù)也和我用英語(yǔ)交流，這幾年我的漢語(yǔ)說(shuō)得還是不太好，我真的很希望可以說(shuō)一口流利的漢語(yǔ)?！逼鋵?shí)在記者看來(lái)，瑪麗的漢語(yǔ)說(shuō)得很不錯(cuò)，采訪過(guò)程中絕大多數(shù)問(wèn)題用中文問(wèn)她都沒(méi)問(wèn)題，只不過(guò)回答的時(shí)候需要中英結(jié)合，對(duì)于很多漢語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)詞匯她也明白。比如記者評(píng)價(jià)她很“拼”，她表示“有很多人這么說(shuō)我?！?/p>

瑪麗的丈夫是委內(nèi)瑞拉人，等瑪麗大學(xué)畢業(yè)了，他們有可能繼續(xù)留在杭州，也有可能回到她老公的家鄉(xiāng)。但是瑪麗顯然更傾向于留在中國(guó)?！半x畢業(yè)還有一年半的時(shí)間，這一年半的時(shí)間我給自己定的最重要的任務(wù)，就是學(xué)漢語(yǔ)。不管將來(lái)我在哪里定居，我都要把漢語(yǔ)學(xué)好。雖然學(xué)漢語(yǔ)真的很難，但我真的很喜歡，我一定要學(xué)會(huì)它?！?/p>

24歲的瑪麗在中國(guó)已經(jīng)5年。5年的時(shí)間，她把熱愛(ài)變成了適應(yīng)，繼而變成了習(xí)慣，她甚至比很多本地人更加融入這片土地?！皝?lái)中國(guó)是我做過(guò)最棒的決定，我愛(ài)中國(guó)，中國(guó)是我的家鄉(xiāng)?！?/p>

Mary is a young woman from a small city with a population of 15，000 in Siberia， Russia. She has been in Hangzhou since 2013 and now she is in the second year of her graduate course in international relations at Zhejiang University. She jokes that the university has more people than the small city where she was born and grew up.

In 2012， Mary got an offer for a two-week internship in Shenyang， a central city in northeastern China. Back then， she was a college freshman in Russia. She liked what she experienced in the city and decided to have more of China. She came back to Shenyang three weeks later and enrolled herself at Shenyang Ligong University. Eight months later， she transferred herself to Zhejiang University of Science & Technology based in Hangzhou， capital city of Zhejiang Province. After finishing her undergraduate study at the university， she enrolled herself into a graduate course of Zhejiang University.

It is in Hangzhou that Mary started engaging herself in a wide range of extracurricular events such as dance， outdoor sports， show， and entertainment performances. In 2014， she took part in a talent show， a competition especially designed for international students in the city. She served as an ambassador for Fifth Hangzhou International Hiking in 2015. In 2015， she attained a scholarship awarded especially to international students for excellence. She has won honors from numerous competitions on the campus and beyond.

Her wedding was held in Hangzhou. She organized her own wedding， cutting down the expenses by at least 50%. Her husband， a singer from Venezuela， now works in Hangzhou. She didnt want to spend all her money on the wedding as she was determined to put away seed money for business in the future. She invited her parents over from Russia and footed the bill.

Mary has visited many cites in China， such as Beijing， Guangzhou and Sanya， but Hangzhou is her favorite. Life in the city is convenient and comfortable with all the electronic gadgets. She likes the city also because of the local cuisine. In order to keep fit， she cooks at home， but occasionally she will eat out with her husband. The food at Grandmas is simply irresistible. And she has learned to make Chinese food. She once competed in a cooking program in Dongyang， making traditional dishes.

Mary enjoys popularity in Hangzhou. She has made quite a few Chinese friends. In the eye of her friends， she is beautiful， enthusiastic， positive and hardworking. She counts this large circle of friends in China as a big reason why she feels so happy in China.

However， Mary isnt free of worries. Her Chinese is by no means proficient. She speaks English with her husband at home. Most friends speak English with her for her convenience. She wishes to improve her Chinese， though she can manage to handle most situations in Chinese. When she cant find words in Chinese， she uses some English words.

She has not made up her mind about the future. After her graduation from Zhejiang University， the couple may choose to stay in Hangzhou. Venezuela is also a possibility. Mary prefers China if it is up to her to make a choice about where to live in the future. But right now， she has 18 months to make that decision. She needs to wrap up her graduate studies in one year and a half. During this time， she wants to perfect herself in Chinese. No matter where she will live in the future， Chinese is always a top priority.

The 24-year-old Mary has spent five years in China. In the past five years， she has adapted herself well to the life here. She thinks she has a greater passion for this country than many local residents do. “Coming to China is the best decision I have ever made. I love China and China is my home，” she concludes.
